Chen Mobai learned that the Heavenly Emperor was a constrained Pure Yang great power and that the Dao Virtue Sect had long targeted Dragon Veins as part of a hidden struggle in the upper realm. True Monarch Wuchen agreed to help conceal Chen Mobai’s Dragon Vein, then secretly traded that favor with Ao Yuxia for a Three Profound Jade Dragon Pill.

• True Monarch Wuchen explained the Three Profound Jade Dragon Pill and the Heavenly Emperor’s origins, cultivation, and inability to transcend while bound to the Destiny Great Dao.

After returning toward the Immortal Sect, he received shocking news that Golden Crow Immortal City had fallen to the Profound Flood Dragon Royal Court.
